Description
The RCD-48 series is a step-down constant current source designed for driving high power LED applications.
Four output currents are available. The maximum output voltage is 56V. The buck drivers have digital PWM
and/or analogue voltage dimming control and are special featured with very high efficiency. Typical applications
are 48V bus lighting solutions or high voltage LED arrays (e.g. high bay lights).
● 70W Buck LED Driver
● Constant Current Output (350 to 1200mA)
● Digital PWM and Analogue Voltage Dimming
● High Efficiency to 96%
● EN, UL and RAILWAYS Certified
● Metal or Plastic Case Version
● IP67 Rated for /W, Plastic Case Version
